Renew your .CO domain name and .COnnect to the World!
It is important to know that when you register a .CO domain name, you do not actually “own” the domain. Instead you have secured the right to register the domain name for a period of 1 to 5 years, and you will have the opportunity to renew the name prior to its expiration.
Domain names are subject to renewal to ensure that names no longer wanted are removed from the registry database and become available for others to register. .CO domain names must be manually renewed upon their expiration and will not automatically renew themselves (“auto-renew”).
Registrars typically have different renewal notice policies, but most will contact you with a reminder via email within 30-90 days of the expiration of a .CO domain name. Please remember the reminders will come from your registrar, not from the .CO Registry.
If you do not renew your .CO domain name(s) prior to the expiration date, the domain name will cycle through two key phases:
Within each of these phases, your domain name is placed on a “PendingDelete-Restorable” status with the .CO Registry and the domain name can still be renewed. Please contact your registrar for additional pricing and policies around Suspension Status and Redemption Grace Period domain names.
Domain names that are not renewed or restored within 45 days will be deleted from the .CO Registry database and will be made available for general registration after 50 days.
Final phase of the the launch plan. Domain registrations become available to the general public on a first-come, first-served basis.
